   There is no excuse for killing the innocent for failure to obey.   
      
   There is no excuse for continuing the practices known to kill the   
   innocent.   
      
   This is exactly why Bush and the US are hated around the world.   
      
   More innocent lives were killed in Iraq than soldiers.   
      
   More non-combatants were killed in Afghanistan than soldiers.   
      
   Current US policy allows wholesale slaughter of the innocent to get the   
   guilty.
